So I was tagged more than a month ago by another blog writer and because I couldn't get in to read her site for weeks, am just now responding... (For anyone who doesn't understand tagging, it's when someone who blogs does something on their blog and then challenges you to do the same thing on yours...) If you go to http://www.kellywell.org/date/2005/06/page/2/, you can see Kelly's answers to these fun questions.

Here are mine:

Three screen names I’ve had: I'm pretty stinkin' boring on this one - I always use either cathyandasia or Chatty Cathy. The Chatty Cathy comes from Mrs. Lenhard, a childhood friends' mom who always called me that. They had a piano, but nobody at their house played, so whenever I would go over to their house, she would say "Oh, Chatty Cathy, play me a tune..." I dreaded playing Mrs. Lenhard a tune, but I always did it.

Three things I like about myself: I think I'm pretty funny (at least I can really crack myself up... ), I have great legs. I'm a very loyal friend.

Three things I don’t like about myself: I have the classic Carson butt - horrifically flat and wider than wide. I have a tendency to think I'm always right. I'm lazy.

Three parts of my heritage: I used to tell kids I was related to Kit Carson - does that count?

Three things that scare me: Turbulance on airplanes. Driving near rivers with my kids in the car - I always imagine us driving into the river and I would have to decide which kid to get out of the car first... Being in the dark when Asia is trying to scare me.

Three of your everyday essentials: 1. Chapstick (in the generic sense, not the brand name sense - I actually prefer Bath and Body works Vanilla Sugar flavored lip balm.) 2. A hot cupasomethin' when I get up. It always used to be coffee, now I'm trying to make it green tea as often as I can. And 3. I gotta wash my face as soon as I get up - I can't stand that slippery greasy morning face feeling.

Three things you are wearing right now: Jean shorts, a red sleeveless top, my wedding ring.

Three of my favorite songs: "Georgia" sung by Ray Charles. "Choose Life" by Big Tent Revival and "Yesterday" by Switchfoot.

Things I want in a relationship: Laughter. Patience. Communication.

Two truths and a lie: I was thrown from a rolling car when I was 14. I have double jointed shoulders. My father was a trapeeze artist with Barnum and Bailey from 1956 to 1960.

Three things I can’t do without: God's word, pen and paper.

Three places you want to go on vacation: Tuscany, Paris, and always the Oregon coast.

Three things you just can’t do: Cartwheels. Make small talk. Dance.

Three kids names: Mystical Purple Haze, Moon Unit, Running Dookie.

Things you want to do before you die: Spend a month in Paris. Give up soda. See my kids serving God as adults.

Three celeb crushes: John Cusack. Bill Pullman. Christopher Plummer. (Not so much now that he's almost 80, but in The Sound of Music he is SO sexy...

Three people you want to know these things about: Umm, I don't think there are three people who read my blog who also blog... so I'll be leaving this blank. If you want to be tagged, consider this your invitation and be sure to leave me a comment so I can go read your answers!

Somebody got a new toy...

Phlumpyschlumpy.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...

Missoula Children's Theater

Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood. Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England. After five days of intense rehearsing, (four and a half hours every day after school) they were ready for two shows on Saturday afternoon. It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome. It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of pla...
